Hi All,
I have received this email twice and one of my frends also got the same. The message is attached below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now frends please remember that these type of emails are all scams. Never reveal your identity to them. Some red flags to notice a scam as can be seen here:
1) See the Sender "Yahoo sevice account". Spelling Mistake!! Not even SERVICE was spelt properly
2) Another, notice that it was not send you personally. Rather it was send to undisclosed recipients.
3) Why would Yahoo ask password and id details from you. Dont they have these details.
4) A simple header search of email tells that it is not coming from Yahoo.com. Though it seems but it is very easy trick. I can send you email from NASA, Bill Gates, US Prez, Any Superstar official email id, Without even an effort of 2 minutes. Some times later on that ;)

So please be aware of these types of scam. They can also be categorised in Phishing attacks.
Take care.
And enjoy. Yahoo not closing your account!!!

  9. If you are facing difficulties while connecting your Wells Fargo bank account with QuickBooks or getting error 105 and 102 then this indicates server connectivity issues. As suggested by Intuit users should wait for a few hours until the bank’s servers starts responding back and then try again to connect the Wells Fargo bank account with QuickBooks. If this does not resolve the issue then call QuickBooks Online Banking Support Number (844)-888-4666 for experts help.

  13. A common issue that users face is the QuickBooks Banking error 102. This problem mainly happens when there are some technical follies in the website or if it is under maintenance. Server issues with data transfer between the bank’s website and QuickBooks can also be another cause of this error.
